This diagram describes how calculations known as polygenic risk scores, obtained for cardiovascular disease, can be used in a medical setting. People interested in understanding how their genes affect their risk for cardiovascular disease have a blood sample taken. Scientists extract the DNA from their blood and identify variants in the genome that are associated with higher or lower risk. From all those variants, they can calculate a polygenic risk score. People at low risk probably require no further attention. People at high risk will likely be prescribed interventions, such as statins. People in the intermediate group might consider protective measures, such as dietary changes.

Genes and heart disease: Finally making the link
Polygenic risk scores — a patient’s chance, based on tiny DNA variants, of developing cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and more — are coming to clinics. But there are kinks to iron out and accuracy remains an issue.

Finalmente estableciendo el vínculo entre genes y enfermedades cardíacas
Las puntuaciones de riesgo poligénico —la probabilidad de que un paciente desarrolle enfermedades cardiovasculares, cáncer de mama, entre otras condiciones, basada en pequeñas variantes genéticas— están llegando al consultorio médico. No obstante, aún quedan cosas por pulir y la precisión sigue siendo un problema.

My research focuses on understanding muscle plasticity and its remarkable ability to adapt to stress. Muscle fibres are unique in their structure – multiple primary cells fuse with each other to create long fibres with multiple nuclei. Invaginations in the cell surface called T-Tubules, the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria co-localise to create a triad next to the contractile apparatus. This structural pattern is responsible for simultaneously translating neural signals into movement as well as energy. Numerous molecular signals within these fibres work in exquisitely orchestrated synergy to result in every single move we make. In this image, I hope to convey how complex and beautiful our muscles are, inside and out.
This event brought together a panel of three leading economists—Thomas Piketty, Kevin Murphy, and Steven Durlauf—to discuss the sources of the rise in inequality in advanced industrialized countries over the past 40 years, the problems it poses, and effective responses. Nobel laureate James Heckman moderated the panel and guided the discussion.
This event was cosponsored by the Becker Friedman Institute, the Harris School of Public Policy, the Human Capital and Economic Opportunity Global Working Group, and the Center for the Economics of Human Development.

This golden sphere, suspended above a Renaissance floor beneath a Roman arch, becomes a bridge across three epochs of unified knowing. At the threshold of two millennia, just decades before the dawn of the 1st century, CE, Vitruvius Pollio composed “De Architectura,” ten books that codified all knowledge about the built environment, placing architecture at the center as a synthesis of every discipline, from hydraulics, timekeeping and machinery, to pneumatics, geometry and astronomy. Fourteen centuries later, Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci discovered in Nature the geometry of invention, a key to bridging dimensions. Five hundred years after that, visionary polymath Buckminster Fuller revealed living order in energetic form, introducing lightweight structures stronger than stone.
Concordo Cum Natura gathers these visions into a single field, where ancient proportion meets geodesic precision. The sphere is the most natural, symmetrical form as a new “building block.” Nature’s technology teaches that design is a dialogue between matter and meaning, art and science, ethics and evolution. Though this sphere waited centuries for a new generation of materials that made omni-triangulated design possible, Vitruvius, Leonardo and Fuller shared an intimate understanding of nature’s enduring design intelligence. They balanced their work with the design of life itself, “In Harmony with Nature.”
